Hearing Yun Zhi's exclamation, Wang Yan finally realized what was going on.
At some point in time, the two of them had arrived at a place where the color of blood was extremely thick.
The power of the Divine Burial Glyph had completely disappeared, as if it had never been there.
Wang Yan regained control of his body, but his left arm started to burn with intense pain at this moment!
"Ah …!"
The pain was so intense that Wang Yan couldn't hold it in anymore, and he cried out in pain.
In the vast expanse of blood, there was an empty space of a foot.
It was as if there was an inexplicable force preventing the blood from approaching.
And in the middle of this one-foot empty space, there was a severed arm sticking out!
The source of the thick, pungent smell of blood was this severed arm!
"Wang Guqing!
Are … are you alright?! "
Yun Zhi couldn't help but ask when she saw Wang Yan's pained expression. Her beautiful eyes were full of concern.
Wang Yan forcefully endured the heart-wrenching pain in his left arm and shook his head with much difficulty. He stared at his severed arm with a look of intense disbelief.
The severed arm emitted a monstrous, surging blood qi.
The blood qi filled the air, forming a bright red sea that dyed the entire area red.
"This severed arm is terrifying! It's actually emitting such a surging blood qi!"
"And the source of all the red light is this severed arm. It's like … it's caused by the blood qi of this severed arm!"
Yun Zhi's beautiful eyes were full of shock as she stared unblinkingly at the severed arm.
As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, and her eyes widened.
"This severed arm can't be the Sovereign's Divine Arm, can it?!"
In an instant, Wang Yan's expression froze, and the pained expression on his face froze.
In the next instant, Wang Yan subconsciously looked at his right arm with an incredulous expression.
This was because the severed arm was covered in complicated, cryptic patterns.
At first glance, the patterns didn't seem to have any pattern, but the longer one looked at them, the more one would be drawn into them.
And this pattern was exactly the same as the Heaven Burying Divine Mark on Wang Yan's right arm, without the slightest bit of difference!
Even the thickness, size, and length of the patterns were exactly the same as the Bury Heaven Divine Mark!
Suddenly, Wang Yan felt that it was absurd.
The Sovereign's Divine Arm that everyone in the Jinling Dynasty and the three halls of the Eastern Continent wanted was actually the Heaven-Burying Divine Rune?!
"Wang Guqing, what's wrong?"
Seeing Wang Yan's eyes fixated on the severed arm, his expression fluctuating, Yun Zhi's curiosity grew stronger.
Wang Yan didn't answer. His mind was blank.
If the Sovereign Lord's Godarm was the Heaven-Burying God Tattoo, then didn't that mean his right arm was the Sovereign Lord's Godarm?
However, Wang Yan had never discovered any heaven-defying aspects of the Heaven Burying Divine Inscription. The only ability it had was that it could absorb the astral energy of others and convert it into its own.
Moreover, it could store the power of the stars and condense it into star power, which could be used to launch a powerful killing move when necessary.
In addition, the Heaven-Burying Divine Rune could convert astral energy into condensed astral energy and send it into Wang Yan's dantian.
As one's cultivation base grew, the Heaven-Burying Divine Rune's abilities grew stronger.
These were all the abilities Wang Yan had discovered so far. There were many more that he had yet to discover.
Perhaps his cultivation base wasn't high enough, or perhaps the Heaven-Burying Divine Rune only had these abilities.
Unfortunately, the Heaven-Burying Divine Rune and the Sovereign Lord's Godarm weren't even on the same level.
Everyone wanted the Sovereign Lord's Godarm, and it was a legendary item.
"It's said that the Sovereign Lord's Godarm was the arm of a sovereign from ancient times. For some reason, it was severed here.
"Over the course of countless years," Yang Qi murmured, "the Sovereign Lord's divine arm emanated a mysterious power that created the Forest of Bones.
"As a result, a famous forbidden area appeared on the Eastern Continent, the Bone Forest."
Although Wang Yan spoke calmly, the pain in his left arm caused his voice to tremble.
With that, Wang Yan turned to look at Yun Zhi. "This is the legend of the Sovereign Lord's Godarm, right?"
"That's right. Although there are all sorts of rumors about the Sovereign Lord's Godarm, that's the general gist of it."
Wang Yan frowned, and the beads of sweat on his forehead trembled.
"Does that mean that this severed arm is the Sovereign Lord's Godarm?"
In response to Wang Yan's question, Yun Zhi stared in shock.
There were all sorts of rumors about the Sovereign Lord's Godarm, but no one had ever seen it before.
Because of that, no one knew what the Sovereign Lord's Godarm looked like, or if it really was an arm.
"Wang Keqing, although I've heard many rumors about the Sovereign Lord's Godarm, I've never seen it with my own eyes.
"But if this severed arm isn't the Sovereign Lord's Godarm, I can't imagine what it is."
In response, Wang Yan nodded silently.
A severed arm had appeared in the Bone Forest, and it was brimming with energy and blood, as if it were a raging river. It was a shocking sight to behold.
Anyone who saw this severed arm would immediately associate it with the Sovereign Lord's Godarm.
But Wang Yan didn't think that way. The severed arm looked exactly like the Heavenburying God Glyph on his right arm.
"But … ah!"
As soon as Wang Yan opened his mouth to speak, he let out a cry of pain.
At the same time, an explosive sound could be heard as Wang Yan's left arm split open, and blood spurted out like a fountain!
The pain caused Wang Yan's handsome face to contort into a hideous grimace!
Such a shocking turn of events caused Yun Zhi's delicate body to tremble in fear. Her red lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes widened to the size of copper bells. Her eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
Just as Wang Yan was about to berate Yun Zhi, thinking that the same thing was going to happen again, that Yun Zhi turned around.
The blood spurting out of the severed arm seemed to be attracted by something, and didn't splatter onto the ground.
It was as if some mysterious force had caused the blood to condense and flow toward the severed arm!
Under Wang Yan and Yun Zhi's incredulous gazes, the fresh blood turned into a line and directly entered the stump of the severed arm!
In the next moment, the bloody light began to converge on the severed arm at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moments later, like snow melting under the spring sun, the bloody light disappeared.
The room returned to its original appearance, revealing the bare stone walls.
All of this seemed slow, but in reality, only a few blinks of an eye had passed.
Just as Wang Yan and Yun Zhi came to their senses, another shocking turn of events occurred!
The severed arm, which had absorbed all the bloody light in the room, suddenly began to tremble violently.
It seemed like it was about to break out of the ground and shoot into the sky!
"Wang Guqing, we have to keep the Sovereign's Divine Arm! We can't let it fly away!"
Seeing this, Yun Zhi cried out in alarm, and was about to suppress the severed arm.
Even now, Wang Yan didn't really believe that this severed arm was the Sovereign's Divine Arm that everyone wanted.
But after all the trouble they had gone through to get here, all they got was this severed arm.
Even if it wasn't the Sovereign's Divine Arm, they had to get it!
